I think it is an attempt to explain consciousness. Don't you find quite odd that science has not enabled us in the least to understand what another species thinks? SciFi explores such ideas, but science has drawn a big blank. I know that my dog exhibits pretty much all the emotions I do, so I'm pretty sure that experiencing a dog's POV would not be totally alien to me just as we now know that pretty much everything else about a dog from his DNA to physical morphology is also similar to us. Of course, a few hundred years ago, lots of white people thought that there was an unimaginable gulf between them and black people. Sometimes I still think there is a significant gulf between me and my wife, and I've often wished I could inhabit her brain for a day. So far, no luck...
